1 Produced Water Recycling Considerations for Landowner & Producer Cotulla, TX November 15, 2013

2 Discussion Points Facts Water Volume Well estimate in EFS Truck traffic Lower injection well volume Aquifer vs. Recycling Types of Recyling Technology & Location Regulatory Considerations Impact Why Recycle Lower Ranch, County, State, Fed Hwy traffic Use of less Potable Water Lower costs for Oil & Gas Operators Less injection well volume 2

3 Balance of Benefits for Producer & Landowner Beneficial Use of Produced Water 3

4 Facts to Consider Water vol/well: approx 6 million gals (O&GJ July 12 PDittrick quote Pres of Breitling O&G) Number of Wells in Eagle Ford Shale: permitted in 2013 to date (EFS.com) - 11,000 wells permitted since 08 (Fuelfix Sept 19, 13 JHiller) - 85,000 more will be drilled in EFS (per Drillinginfo CEO in Fuelfix 9/19/13 article) Truck traffic: trips per well; TxDot reports 1184 truck trips/well (EFS Task Force RRC Study Chap 2, p24 Study) Water truck traffic variables: volume of well, piping, recycling, reuse, logistics, storage, SWD injection SWD s: Injection well volume (EWS results show 80-95% reductions) Aquifer: water usage reduced with life of field Recycling 4

5 Produced Water Industry Fueled by oil & water interdependence Research & Development = Optimized results Energy and service company culture Mastery of: health, safety, environmental, regulatory Landowner awareness and Public Policy initiatives Technology with measurable advantages Data driven culture: measure measure measure Abilities: Engineering, Field, Pub Policy, Research, mfg, ops Eagle Ford Shale Field Services & Operations Field Water Management Analysis: Engineering, chemistry, logistics, vol, inlet vs outlet, economics, use 5

6 Research & Development key to continuous improvement Re-engineered: From fixed plant to transportable Production experience: Optimized use and design Easily ship: Ruggedized for oil field based via containerized modules Movable units: Securely and quickly connect to well pad 6

7 Recycling Categories Technology Boiling/Heat Exchanger High power consumption Discharge issues w/distilled Add chem back to use it Lined Pit/Chemical Shocking Capital of lined pit Livestock/wildlife Cleanup Highest chemical usage Ozone Bubbling Limited constituents handled Passive Filtration Keep filters clean Low power consumption Configurable filtration train Optimized for specification Location & Use Mobile Ease of move Frac only High volume Limited constituents Movable Life of field Move w/ volume Minimized trucking Central Plant High volume Trucking issues Discharge Frac spec Beneficial use Brine 7

8 Technology: Optimized Configurable Design Movable & Modular Mechanical & Flow Control Bypass loops Ease of maintenance Remote operations with manual capability Manual or process controlled ops Simplified operations & logistics for facilities and production personnel Electrical & Process Control Plug n Play Well Pad Central Production Facility Integration PLC optimized for water conditions Remote operations Operator dashboard, ipad enabled, operational data Increased visibility for operations and lower risk for HSE 8

9 Mobilizing Recycling planning for lowered costs Beneficial Use Acquire Transport Movable in field Flowback Site Storage Consistent water quality via plant control systems Central field depot Optimum placement Treatment Configure For Use Close to wells Limit trucking Lower risk & opex Modular units scale: 1250 to over a million BPD 9

10 Configurable Design & Manufacturing Movable & Modular Configuration Drivers: Inlet and Outlet Specifications Lab Samples- Flowback and Produced Water Regulations Volume & Environment Modular Containers Optimized for requirements, power and pad Deliverable and installed right on well pad Lowering water transport costs, injection volumes and risks for happier stockholders and landowners 10

11 Regional Service Facilities EWS Big Wells Spares depot Crew Quarters Well Pad Ops Operations Recycling at well head Pad integration Onboard process controls 11

12 Getting started: Process Review Field Water Management Services Analysis Joint project Phased deliverables Operational analysis Financial Review w/execs Board Ready documents Lab Analysis of produced water Location & use considerations Financial considerations w/field Focus Mobilization; operations aligned with production 12

13 Public Policy Initiatives Improved Legislation & Permitting Wellington Water Works Colorado Water Court Approval 2007 HB and Senate Bill in Colorado enabling ground discharge Over 7.5 M Barrels of recycled water released in aquifer United States Patents for design and processes 6,348,154- Methods to remove heavy metals from water 11/784,569 Purification of oil field water for beneficial use 12/421,462 Beneficial use of produced water (pending) Texas Railroad Commission mobile permit Five additional bills proposed in Texas in 2013 Session SWD tariff, recycling mandate, discharge of fresh 13

14 Energy experts creating incremental water for beneficial use Energy Water Solutions Eagle Ford Shale Operations Highway 85 Big Wells, Texas Energy Water Solutions Headquarters & Manufacturing 800 Town & Country Boulevard Houston, Texas USA lower costs and continuous improvement for operator lowering injection well usage, truck traffic & pressure on aquifers Ed Cowsar, EWS (m)
